Nintendo Everything

Update: It seems that it’s technically going by the term “free-to-play”, but it’s more like a demo. Once downloaded, those who try out Pushmo: Hippa Land can choose which type of course they want. There are seven free puzzles from the four worlds (regular puzzles, puzzles that look like objects, puzzles with enemies, and NES-sprite based puzzles). We’re also hearing that each world has a different character to play as.

Players must beat the 28 free levels before having the option to buy worlds. Before gaining access to the “Create-A-Puzzle” feature, you need to purchase one world.

The Pushmo/Crashmo series is returning to 3DS. Nintendo just announced a new free-to-play entry for its portable today, and it’s already out in Japan.

This new entry – called “Pushmo: Hippa Land” – is free-to-play. Players can purchase one world for 500 yen, which contains 100 courses. There are an additional three, each of which features 50 courses and costs 300 yen. Alternatively, it’s possible to buy all four for a discount of 400 yen (1,000 yen in total).

Those who purchase and complete all four worlds will earn a special challenge titled “Super-Difficult Mountain”. In one world, players need to beat/overcome enemies. Just like the original game, you can share puzzles with QR codes.

New SpotPass content and DLC is out now for Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker.

In terms of DLC, players can now obtain the following:

Lost Demon Rescue (FREE)
===
A persuadable demon is caught in the middle of two hordes. If you can protect the demon and survive the onslaught, the demon will join your party! Use it to bolster your ranks or keep it for fusion fodder.
All Skills Must Go! ($0.99)
===
Scattered around the battlefield are memory sticks loaded with powerful skills for your party. But the demons around have their eyes on them too, and will try and abscond with the memory sticks. This is one situation when you’re going to want to make sure to use non-combat skills that slow down enemies and/or speed up your party.
Let the Demons Grow ($0.99)
===
This is an old-fashioned free-for-all battle. These demons are loaded with extra experience, so systematically pick them off to reap EXP rewards and level your entire party.

The new SpotPass content, as pictured above, allows for new demon fusions.

Thanks to Axl_abe for the tip.

Just like with the first North American Splatoon commercial, Nintendo has created a shorter, 15-second edition for the latest TV ad. We’ve attached it below.

NintendoWorldReport has published a new preview for Splatoon, which contains a bunch of details about the game’s Hero Mode (single-player). You can find the information rounded up below.

– As previously mentioned, you’ll be battling against the evil forces of the Octarians
– Octarians have snatched all of the Zapfish they could find in the area
– Zapfish are needed for electricity
– First few levels are basic
– In these levels, you shoot ink in your humanoid form and then switch to your squid form to move quickly through the level
– The campaign differs in what you need to accomplish
– Outwit various octopi troops
– Levels are made up of small islands that you hop between using launch pads
– Each level has a unique setup that challenges your skills and introduces new elements
– Floating Sponge Garden: has platforming and enemies to fight, but you also shoot ink at sponges to let them grow to huge proportions
– This lets you traverse the stage in brand new ways
– Propeller: when ink is shot at it, the device moves in different directions
– You can raise the propeller far above your enemies and inflict an immediate attack from above if your timing is right
– Timing is another important part of single-player
– “Inkraill Skyscape”: hop on various rails in your squid form and perform timed jumps to land on higher platform
– “Inkvisible Avenues”: platforms are almost impossible to see without ink guiding the way
– Your Inkling can only withstand three splats before you get booted to the overworld
– Checkpoints are scattered throughout levels
– Some levels are apparently very difficult – notably bomb drop levels
– In these, an enemy from above will constantly drop ink tornados around you in an attempt to destroy you
– “Flooder Junkyard”: gigantic robots try to spray the field completely in their color
– When the robots spot you, they’ll come after you with a full assault
– Octostamp boss: gigantic cube that tries to squash you as soon as he sees you
– Climb the sides of his body to start an assault on the tentacle that pops out and free the Zapfish inside
– Octowhirl boss: will fly straight towards you; trap him in a huge pile of ink to nail him down and once again hit the octopus tentacle three times
– One level has you scaling skyscrapers while another is in a galaxy-like setting rife with moving platforms
